Abstract
Disclosed is a method for uplink power control in a communication system that includes determining a power control offset for controlling power for traffic to be transmitted by a subscriber station, according to whether a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) is applied to the traffic, and transmitting the power control offset to the subscriber station.
Claims12
A method for controlling uplink power in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a non-Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) burst by controlling a transmission power using a carrier to noise ratio value to a base station (BS);
- receiving a relative power offset for an uplink HARQ burst from the BS;
- adjusting the carrier to noise ratio value using the relative power offset;
- and
- transmitting the uplink HARQ burst by controlling transmission power using the adjusted carrier to noise ratio value to the BS,
- wherein the relative power offset denotes a power offset for the uplink HARQ burst relative to the non-HARQ burst.
A method for controlling uplink power by a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, from a Subscriber Station (SS), a non-Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) burst that the SS transmits by controlling a transmission power using a carrier to noise ratio value;
- determining a relative power offset to adjust the carrier to noise ratio value for controlling transmission power of an uplink HARQ burst;
- transmitting the relative power offset to the SS, wherein the SS adjusts the carrier to noise ratio value using the relative power offset;
- and
- receiving, from the SS, the uplink HARQ burst that the SS transmits by controlling the transmission power using the adjusted carrier to noise ratio value,
- wherein the relative power offset denotes a power offset for the uplink HARQ burst relative to the non-HARQ burst.
A Subscriber Station (SS) for controlling uplink power in a wireless communication system, the SS comprising:
- a transmitter for transmitting a non-Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) burst by controlling a transmission power using a carrier to noise ratio value, to a Base Station (BS);
- a receiver for receiving a relative power offset for an uplink HARQ burst from the BS;
- a controller for adjusting a carrier to noise ratio value using the relative power offset;
- and
- a transmitter for transmitting a non-Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) burst by controlling a transmission power using the carrier to noise ratio value to the BS, and transmitting the uplink HARQ burst by controlling transmission power using the adjusted carrier to noise ratio value to the BS,
- wherein the relative power offset denotes a power offset for the uplink HARQ burst relative to the non-HARQ burst.
A Base Station (BS) for controlling uplink power in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
- a receiver for receiving, from a Subscriber Station (SS), a non-Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) burst that the SS transmits by controlling a transmission power using a carrier to noise ratio value;
- a controller for determining a relative power offset to adjust the carrier to noise ratio value for controlling transmission power of an uplink HARQ burst;
- a transmitter for transmitting the relative power offset to the SS, wherein the SS adjusts the carrier to noise ratio value using the relative power offset;
- and
- the receiver for receiving, from the SS, the uplink HARQ burst that the SS transmits by controlling the transmission power using the adjusted carrier to noise ratio value,
- wherein the relative power offset denotes a power offset for the uplink HARQ burst relative to the non-HARQ burst.
